Black Iron Crown

Chapter 475: Northern battlefield

The title of knight is a leap of class for a lower class. Although knight is at best a professional soldier, in the final analysis he is still the lowest nobleman.

In any case, the nobility and the common people are two very different classes, and even in some nobles, the nobility and the common people are almost two kinds of creatures, and they can't talk about each other at all.

If you get a knight title at the lowest level in this era, then it will be as if you have been promoted to an immortal for the common people.

At the very least, they no longer need to worry about dying on the battlefield. The Knights Gate still has no impact on the overall situation. If caught, they are almost never directly executed. Most of them are asking for a ransom or switching.

As long as they are not killed on the battlefield in the first time, they are safe, not to mention having a beneficiary, which means that one or two hundred people or even three to four hundred people in a village will pay most of their income. Their hands.

They don't need to work hard, as long as they hone their fighting skills and train their strength every day. (In fact, many knights in the Middle Ages still had to work by themselves, and the productivity in the book was different)

Even if you are lucky enough to make a greater contribution and get the appreciation of the prince, it is impossible to get the title of a baron, and at that time they will be completely transformed into a noble that can be passed on for a long time!

It is conceivable how crazy these soldiers will be in order to perform their merits. They almost dashed towards the soldiers on the right wing with no fear of death.

Even if the chest was pierced, they tried their best to stab the enemy with a spear. Even though they had lost too much blood to stand up, they still held the enemy's legs hoping to cause some obstacles to the enemy.

The temptation of fame and fortune is unparalleled, and everyone looks like a crazy attack by a madman.

Under their attack, even though most of the soldiers on the right were wearing iron armor, they were still retreating steadily.

Their morale was supposed to be high, but it couldn't be compared with the fanatical enemy.

Therefore, they are under tremendous pressure at this time, but in order to survive, they have to grit their teeth and persevere.

On the left, Earl Crick and Rainer's few vassals who are fighting the enemy are even more difficult.

Although their equipment is much better than that of the enemy, and the enemy has been consumed by the light cavalry, the difference in numbers is still too large anyway. Basically every soldier has to face two enemies, and the battle is very difficult.

At this time, in the north, Frank led the army to Fort Angron, which was the territory of the Earl of Puston.

The strength of the royal lords, including the militia led by Frant, has reached nearly 10,000.

However, the quality of these ten thousand people is not as good as the army of the upstarts. They are all real regular troops. The army led by Count Redmara is real soldiers who have been trained for nearly two years. Although the armor rate is not as good as Royal lords, but the number is crushed.

An army of ten thousand people was stationed in Angron Fort.

Because the royal lords are now in the same breath, the internal conflicts have almost all been resolved. Therefore, in order to avoid greater losses, the Earl of Pushtown has placed 80,000 civilians in his own territory into other people's territories.

Sitting in the banquet hall of the main fort, Flandt was sitting on the main seat as the Grand Duchess.

There was a map in front of her. It took more than three years for Reiner to assign Logan to draw one-third of the entire map of the empire.

The terrain of Anglongborg is impressively on this map.

At this time, Frante exuded an aura of self-confidence, and Zhang Qu was quite majestic, just like when she led the army in the southern battlefield. The only difference is that she is not wearing a helmet now.

Frank frowned and looked at the map for a while, then sighed and looked back.

"How about it, honorable Grand Duchess?" Baron Moricardo asked directly. Although no one would admit it, anyone knew in his heart how strong Flandt's military capabilities were.

All of this was vividly demonstrated in the counter-insurgency war more than a year ago.

"There are plains all around. We can't use the advantages of the terrain to fight the enemy. The only way is to stick to this castle and wait for Lena's return..."

Having said this, Frank felt a pain in his heart.

She did not tell the gang of royal lords that Rainer would be under siege, as that would cause a devastating blow to morale.

What they need most now is hope. Give them a time limit and stick to Reiner's return, which will double their confidence.

In the afternoon, a scout came back to report that it was the upstarts' coalition forces totaling more than 20,000 people that had crossed the border at Angron Fort.

Frantz pursed his mouth and thought for a while and said: "Send all our knights into the battle lightly, harass the enemy, and retreat immediately after causing some damage to the enemy, and strive not to pay any damage. We can only consume this slowly. Their strength is gone!"

Using this method is also Frant's helpless move. If the terrain of Angron Fort is more complicated and the number of enemy troops is not so large, she has a lot of tactics to deploy.

It is a pity that Fort Angron is a vast plain. In normal times, it is a very fertile and affluent land, but when the war comes, the plain means that the defenders do not have any topographical advantages.

In desperation, he could only let the knights use sparrow warfare to harass the enemy and consume the enemy's troops as much as possible.

More than two hundred knights removed the horse armor from their horses, and after wearing the armor, they walked out of Angron Fort along the city gate.

On the other side, Count Redmara led his army, more than 3,000 regular troops dispatched by the imperial capital, and 400 heavy cavalry are slowly advancing.

Five or six kilometers away from him, there are more than a dozen marching snake formations~lightnovelpub.net~ These are an army of upstarts, which are advancing in batches.

"Rush up and give them a ruthless one!" The two hundred knights dispatched by Angronberg looked at the team in the distance, and said the leader of the knights.

"Get on! Slow down! Lower your voice! We will give the enemy a big surprise!"

This knight team rode forward slowly on their horses, suppressing the sound to the extreme.

Half an hour later, a soldier who was marching suddenly moved his ears and said to the person next to him: "Did you hear anything?"

"No? Are you too tired?"

The soldier buttoned his ears: "Perhaps, it may really be that I heard it wrong."

"Knights! Give them a surprise!" With a loud shout, the two hundred knights instantly launched an overwhelming charge.

The sound of horseshoes became clear at this moment, and it spread to everyone's ears.
